(3) PS After being introduced to drum-beating elephant Tanka and skunk Skunk, the reader is invited to "say their names together, and / hear / the / beat." As this ingeniously simple book proceeds, Webb finds music in the mere repetition of animal names ("lemur / llama / llama / lemur / zebra / badger / BAT"), and the candy-colored, cartoony images of the animals help readers keep the beat.
